Report: T.J. Otzelberger headed for Iowa State

TJ was my favorite choice, but I never said he was without flaws which was your point. TJ had flaws and so did every candidate. I would have been happy with any of the 5 I listed. DeVries we saw wasn't interested. Smith I kind of get the impression was at best interested, but not committal. I've been appeased that Pollard did some due diligence.
I had multiple people I'd be really happy with and only one I'd be unhappy with.
Sounds like both. Reviewing candidates resumes weeks ago, talking to referrals, investigating financial options, etc. There's so much more to do than just starting the conversations. If there's anything the debates seemed to confirm, it's that there are few 'incredible' candidates which aren't over the hill or want to leave their current situation.
I'm fine with this hire and am anxious to see what transpires.
Their AD is from the Jamie tree, so perhaps it’s the type of extension in which you fire them two years later for 0-18. Or the like the extension we were going to give to McD prior to Creighton doing God’s work. Or perhaps just another JP distorted truth for his disciples to show off their lack of gag reflexes.
I gotta admit, I am getting a huge amount of comedic enjoyment from your posts. It reminds me of those "kids crying over nothing" Facebook videos. They are funny too.
UNLV. They made a counter offer for TJ to stay according to JP.

When he loses in a National Championship, then you can compare him to Johnny Orr!
Johnny Orr’s National Runner Up was at Michigan.
Chizik won a National Championshi. At Auburn.
Johnny Majors won a National Championship. At Pitt.

If he does come back and plays great here it will be a TJ recruit, if bad it will be a SP recruit. Never understood the SP haters from day 1.
Yeah, he apparently wants to make sure nobody has any doubts about how much he thinks JP sucks - we get it. I guess keep beating that horse if that's what gets you off..
I would give TJ a year or two before deciding if he was the correct choice. In 2 years it will be clear if he has the program back on solid ground.
You could tell after 1 year with Prohm, given the roster he was handed. https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaa...gs-is-unfair-072933696.html?pt=2&guccounter=1

I could tell after Monte and those guys left that he was lost during the 2017-2018 season, but it was hard to tell at first with all those great players. Prohm had his moments though, but it just got way ugly.
Doesn’t seem that way. But I hope so, it would be the least I can do in return for your work.
You disagreed and thought you had some type of rebuttal. I get you can’t, and that’s clearly disappointing for both of us. How you cope with it is up to you. I’m here to help you work through the flaws in your reasoning any time- that I am guilty of. Retirement!
You had to go back 84 years to find literally the only other time we have gone winless in conference play in our 113 year history. Steve Prohm was 1 year old when we had our last 20 loss season (before he achieved it twice in a row) 45 years ago. Let's not pretend these are common place in our program history.
